I attended a family member's wedding this summer, and chatted with her across the bar. She took it upon herself to make a simple chat about where I came from (California) into an ugly political rant. Thinking back on it, I was expecting maybe extra welcome for undertaking the trip to Missouri during Covid for the wedding, but if this woman was the reason the wedding couldn't be rescheduled, I get it now, no sympathy or extra welcome for out of state travelers would ever be had from her! I liked the food. The layout was interesting, though not conducive to mingling. The owner doesn't understand the first thing about hospitality.

You can't be in Springfield, MO without being in the shadow of John Q. Hammons, the legendary hotel…read moreentrepreneur and developer who left an indelible mark on his beloved City. This Expo center literally lies in the shadow of Hammond's office tower and the Plaza Hotel, both JQH developments. The Hammond's Stadium, home to the Springfield Cardinals is right down the street. This is all located a short walk to downtown area, so it's the premier location for conventions in Springfield. Great location and nice facility!

As a Springfield Native (a Native Springfieldian?) I have heard friends, family, and co workers…read moreconsistently lament the lack of things to do in this town. Although I personally feel like that has changed somewhat over the years, I think the Trolley Bike injects a heavy dose of fun to this city. For those who don't know, the Trolley Bike is a people powered monstrosity that is way more fun than the mere sum of its parts. A literal party on wheels, its unique combination of multi-passenger bicycle, music, alcohol, the outdoors, and 12 or so friends is what really characterizes the experience. As an avid indoors man, I couldn't tell you when I last hopped on a bike, much less enjoyed being outside in cold weather. The Trolley Bike, however, made both experiences fun. In short, this is one of the best additions to Springfield's (arguably short) "things to do" list. I would highly recommend a trip on the Trolley Bike.

Each place offers a deal on a shot since we were on the Trolley. And we also went outside of downtown to Ebbetts.

There is also great tunes and our driver, Devin, was so awesome!

This review is just for the venue portion of Randy Bacon; I never got photos taken here…read more As far as local venues go, this one should win an award for being the most stylish and comfortable. It's beautifully lit and the various art installations/framed photos on the walls made it an interesting place to hang around and wait for the next act to begin. The (volunteer?) staff was collectively young, hip (I refuse to call anyone a hipster anymore, but I guess they fit the mold) and really very friendly. Randy Bacon doesn't hold shows very often, nor do I know if it'll up the frequency at all in future months, but seeing Why? here was so ideal and made for such a memorable evening. Minus one star because there were noticeable sound problems that stressed the opening acts out a little and pushed back the door opening time, but it really wasn't a big deal to me as I was running a merch table and therefore didn't have to wait outside. Basically, if you hear of a show coming to Randy Bacon anytime in the future, it'll probably be worth going to. I was impressed.

There were tons of compliments - it was radical and special :-) Definitely will be back!
